Another gorgeous iPhone application site, Snow Reports is a little heavy on the reflections, but executes type well and follows a solid colours scheme.
A good example of simple design that serves its purpose well, with graphics that are completely suitable for the use of the application.

jQuery for Designers helps offer a great understanding of JavaScript for designers, and bridges a little of the barrier to the "funky interaction stuff".
The site combines clean lines with rough texture, and manages to pull both off with plenty of spacing and a clear sense of structure.
The formatting in blog posts is clearly thought through in-depth, and executed well.

Alexander's portfolio takes on a steel and purple hue, featuring a scrolling portfolio slideshow that appears to "hover" over the rest of the page.
I also particularly like the contact page, which includes a postcard mockup, a rate card designed in the style of a till receipt, and a timeline showing how most design projects are worked through.

A novel concept, the idea behind Design Swap is that pairs of designers team up to "swap" the design of an aspect of their site. It's an exercise in trust, and - in my opinion - a thoroughly fantastic idea.
The design of the site is wonderful, full of attention to detail and well chosen typography. I particularly like the stylised signatures in the footer, and the consistent use of the bold logo.
Definitely worth subscribing to, and keeping track of over the coming months.

Typetester is a useful service for comparing different typefaces for reproduction on screen. You can select a whole range of different options for the display formatting, and compare three typefaces side-by-side.
The design of the site itself is fairly basic, but produced to execute one task very well. Everything seems very busy at first, but the reason for this becomes apparent as you start using the application.
A great tool for any web designer.

TweetShare aims to let you have a discussion (including the sharing of files and documents), using Twitter as a platform. An interesting idea!
The design of the site takes a slightly more professional tone than many other Twitter services, with a subtle use of gradients and bold buttons.
Logical, clear, and simple.

Providing information all the places that serve alcohol in Austin, Drink Up Austin is a colourful, playful design that matches it's purpose well.
Certain aspects of the colour scheme feel a little garish at first, but the design feels natural as you navigate around. Contrast is used well to draw your attention to certain elements of the design.

Cobblestone is designed to move people deeper into real relationships. The design of the site is slick, professional, and subtle. The use of subtle gradients and drop shadows gives the site depth, and the purpose is made clear straight away.
I particularly like the top navigation, which manages to pull off a slight transparency, a simple texture, and some well balanced typography.

A popular Mac software developer, Realmac produce some gorgeous applications and have a website to match. Each app is given plenty of surrounding space, and navigation is very clear.
The design is made particularly special due to the application icons which are used to great effect. Be sure to dig past the homepage to see a far more immersive and visually rich design.

A lovingly crafted site with a huge background image, and some really interesting navigation. The typography used in headings and the navigation bar works really well, and adds flair to the design.
My only complaint would be that the text used in the main body areas is a little difficult to read. Other than that, a great example of creative background usage.
